The video made by Sharad Kukreti matches the words of the songs and captures the beauty and tranquility of the valley. However, it is this beauty and calm that the city is fast losing and one wonders whether the Beatles could have been inspired to write a song had they visited it in this day and age.
The song titled Dehra Dun was written during the band’s stay at Rishikesh in 1968. It is still not found in any of their albums and as such is quite a treat to fans. The song was played to participants of the conference from November 26 to 28. It is one of the rarest Beatles songs and Dehra Dun prides in the knowledge that the great musicians were so fascinated by the town that they composed a song about it, said Sharad Kukreti, who produced a short video film for the mayor’s meet.
This song is even more beautiful because the presentation has shown all of Dehradun including the scenery around it as well - and I am sure that the world will want to visit beautiful Dehradun - I was born in Doon and love the city dearly!
em not from dehradun but still this city gives me a lot.. true love of some1 very special, close to my heart.... i love her & i love dehradun. wenever i visit to meet her, i stay in a hotel at gandhi road.. dat was the best tym of my life, now i'm in abroad, talk her daily on phone, miss her badly and miss dehradun, pls pray for me guys, i wanna live once agai my life :-(

However the video is shit; half of the footage is of things that didn't even exist in the 60s leave alone their hardly being the stuff that would have made any kind of impression on those hippies (the traffic, Barista, eh).
@tiburonesrojosver just by the way you typed the first sentence I can tell you dont know what your talking about. Im pretty sure this was recorded during white album sessions. I can tell that bass is paul.
Hey folks! That's my hometown, it was actually written by George when 'The Beatles' were visiting Rishikesh and came Dehradun and was amazed by it's beauty and culture..that's what I heard. Anyway, can't deny the that how many people actually know about this song!

Interesting...! Yeah, I love the song -- esp. since I discovered it only a few years after I had had my last name changed to Deradune (where I changed the spelling to make it easier to pronounce).
This is very cool. I had heard George play a short section of this on the Beatles anthology but didin't realize he'd actually recorded the song. This was great to hear. Thank you for posting!!
I do not think this can technically be called a Beatles song. The Beatles never recorded it. It was written and recorded by George Harrison. Three of the Beatles played about 15 seconds of it on the Beatles Anthology for TV, but George couldn't remember the words so it was not finished. Then again, I guess it was a Beatles song that just was never recorded by The Beatles. Instead, it is a Beatle's song, since George most definitely was a "Beatle."
I agree with you that's it not a Beatles song, but a song written by George while he was in the Beatles. I'm sure John and Paul made plenty of demos that were not presented to the group but were recorded after the split. I find it funny George said he never recorded the song on the Beatles anthology but here it is!! Also, when he plays a little of it on the anthology both Paul and Ringo act like they've heard it before, so maybe the Beatles did play it? No evidence of that though.
I think the recording on the Beatles Anthology was recorded years before George made this recording -- which was not released until after George's death by the way.
I haven't been able to find much on this song but what I have seen suggests it was actually recorded in 1969 during the "Radha Krishna Temple" recordings. If you look them up on wiki, George was involved with them and produced an album for them on the Apple label. It is at least a reasonable theory that he recorded a studio demo but forgot about it when the anthology was produced 20-25 years later. Either way, great song!
I'm pretty sure this is actually a George solo song that he recorded during the All Things Must Pass sessions.

The Beatles should've put this tune on a record. Sometimes, John & Paul let their egos get in the way of their musical sense.

That are not The Beatles, is George Harrison solo experience, recorded in 1970 but never came in an album.

He wrote it during the Beatles though. At one point during the Beatles Anthology he plays it and Paul says "Oh I remember that."
